How to use Wi-Fi calling feature on Apple Watch

Wi-Fi calling is nothing new. A Wi-Fi call is similar to a regular call, but it uses the internet instead of a phone line or cellular network. By means of Wi-Fi calling, you can make or receive a phone call with a Wi-Fi network. If there is little or no cellular coverage in an area, you can use this feature. You can use the Wi-Fi connection of your home, hotel, office or even a Wi-Fi hotspot. The user can take full advantage of Wi-Fi calling to cut down their phone bills.

Like many features in your Apple Watch, your Watch also has the Wi-Fi calling feature. If your device usually picks up a stronger Wi-Fi signal than a cellular one, at that time you can use this feature. The biggest advantage is that Wi-Fi calling also lets a user connect all kinds of Apple devices using the same iCloud account so you can make calls from them even if your iPhone is off or not on the same Wi-Fi network.
